Chocolate Blossoms ( Filipino Cookie)
I have a different name for my crinkles. I call it Chocolate Blossoms and I make it differently.I don't like the bakery type which more often made for mass production so the taste is too sweet or tough and in some cases, dry. ( hate it!) My version is chewy, soft and it melts in your mouth.The trick: be careful with timing and don't use cocoa powder.
